Watching people light up during the demos of  Attensa for Outlook 0.96 at the Gnomedex Conference in Seattle was gratifying and informative. We got great feedback on the user experience and great suggestions for new features.

The features that earned the most oooohs and aaaaahs are:

• automatically loading audio Podcast files into iTunes and Windows Media Player playlists
• The Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer toolbars that make it easy to add and manage RSS news feeds and subscriptions
  
• Automatic blog publishing from emails and news feed articles directly to their blogs or wikis without exiting Outlook and loading their browser.

The public preview version 0.96 of Attensa for Outlook can be downloaded for free at http://www.attensa.com.
